I have to say this is the worst type of money grabbing system to require the Gold online gaming feature. My 12 year old son bought this in Argos (a store where you cannot see the product until after purchase) and we get it home to find out that we need Gold Membership. First I should not have to continue paying for something he has bought (very bad practice) and second our internet connection has never been great. This is compounded by the fact that Argos will not take the product back as it has been opened. If you have an online only product then why not sell it only once you are inside the Gold Members area rather than through the shops unless you want to trick people into your memberships. Also although we have seen the printing of 'Online Only' (after the fact) it is still quite small and the text should be at least as large as the name of the game. I will be contacting the Office of Fair Trading concerning this practice as it seems dishonest at best and manipulative and deceitful at worst.
I have Internet but no PSN, can I play the offline mode on a PS4 without PSN? If no this is a VERY BAD policy.
I also have this problem, I have internet but do not want to pay for membership of PSN+ I should be able to play the basic game without paying more $$$ every month/year. I chatted with EA advisor but they were no help.
Money grabbing is too light a statement! We should put this up on ripoff.com.
incredible...
That's very well said, it's one big rip off!
Just bought the game today for my 5 year old daughter. I am having the same problem that these people had over 3 years ago. So I do have an internet connection. But not an XBox Gold account. Why can't I play the solo mode with just internet connection only?
It looks like ya'll recognized and fixed the problem/issue when you came out with Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2

Can I play on my own?
For the first time, we’re introducing a unique solo play experience where you can play every single game mode either by yourself against AI, or with the help of a friend in local split screen. We’ll have more details on what else you can expect from solo play very soon!
Will I need Xbox Live Gold or PS+ to play the game?
You will not need Xbox Live Gold or PS+ to play the game. All local play features (solo play and local split screen), can be experienced with an internet connection only. If you want to jump online to play with friends you will require Xbox Live Gold or PS+.
So if you can acknowledge the foul-up for that and fix if for the future games. I think since the product is still on the market EA needs to make it right for the rest of community that puts money in EA pockets by patching or whatever you need to do to give the original Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare game the ability to play single player just as the Part 2 can.
Community Manager@Satxkiller Unfortunately the original Garden Warfare has no offline modes, the game was designed as an always-online title and as such if playing on an Xbox you will need Xbox Live.
I 100% agree they should come back and fix it
This Option is only for Garden Warfare 2. Not for Garden Warfare. I know this is a dead thread, however the information is misleading as it is not for the correct game.
Community Manager@kgb420kgb It is most likely a case that when you first played the game your son had a free trial of Xbox live or played it during a free weekend.
The case does state that an online connection is required. It also states that an Xbox Live subscription will be required.
As is addressed it's in small print at the bottom and i never even saw it on my husbands copy of the game. I would like to refer to the question that was asked: Who do you want to please your lawyers or your customers? If you helped your customers that wouldn't even be a problem. Or rather should we expect that you just don't care about these customers. We're only a small amount of your money right? Four years to have someone even say a live account is required- come on.
that is very ridiculous for EA, why do you need to have it constantly connected to the internet when you only want to play single player or couch multiplayer only, it doesn't make any sense. isn't it enough for us to buy the game? you are a very greedy company. of course this won't do anything because all you can hear and see is money.. you don't give a * with your customers
well this was a waste of 20 bucks. so much for wanting to play this game. Oh well, down the drain that money goes.....
Can ea please add private play for PvZ gw1. I really want to play gardens and graveyards with ai just like PvZ gw2!
